Monona Terrace Art on the Rooftop 2025

Nicole Beck, Chicago, Illinois— Heal Us (on Olin Terrace)

At the heart of Nicole Beck’s artwork beats the rhythm and beauty of dynamic systems found in nature and the sciences. Beauty and physics balance form with concept. Heal Us projects a colorful and hopeful message of natural unity. Literally, it is a strong and vibrant depiction of man’s continuing battle with nature. Historically humans can have a destructive relationship with nature, but reciprocity is found because the foxglove plant, although very beautiful, is highly toxic to humans. Balance and respect are the keys.
